Copernicus Tektite Impact Stone

Wow! Rocks made from meteors smashing into earth! The only thing cooler than that is having some. Copernicus makes it easy and fun with this Copernicus Tektite Impact Stone sample.

Tektites are silicate glass most likely formed when meteorites collide with terrestrial rocks. The impact of a large meteorite creates enough energy to melt soil and rocks. The material from an impact is projected over great distances. It rapidly melts, then quickly cools, forming tektites.
